Roku Emerges as Potential Landing Spot for MLB’s ‘Sunday Leadoff’ Package

I dont have an Athletic subscription. Only got to see a little bit of the article.

Are the going to have exclusive rights like Apple does?

1135 am is awfully early and can only be est games right?

Baseball is heading in the wrong direction. They are grabbing $ when they need to grab fans first. The more it is accessible the more people will see it.

If you show it they will come… lol

Athletic is Gated unless you have a sub. So does this mean you need a Roku Device to see these Sunday Games. Yeah baseball has a real marketing problem. Most hard core fans are older and a lot of em don’t want to be streaming on a device. They are the Anti Insiders!

EDIT: After reading the Article you can watch for Free on the Roku App.

Thanks. Yeah at least its free…for now. But like @MarkxG says they make it so difficult for older fans to watch a game.

I downloaded the app onto the Nvidia. I have to try to remember my roku login. Its been years since i used it. Lol

Yea im just lucky my tv os is roku…so its there if I need it but that’s not very often.

The worst thing about streaming is sometimes I get a score change on my phone before I see it. Lol

Why would that happen? Are you not streaming in real time?

I like that effect, lets me do other things and not miss the big play :joy:

I dont know of any streaming in real time. There is always some delay. Cable is about a 7 second delay from live and I’ve had some streams a minute behind that. The MLB app is pretty quick with sending score changes.

If you dont get a delay what are you using to watch? Im not talking paid subscriptions but kodi or sports fire etc. Even so i dont think any stream will be real time. Its just the nature of sending the signal. But ive been wrong before and will be again. lol

LOL A Minute behind? I know my feeds are not a minute behind sure maybe 10 seconds or so. A good way to test this is find out the exact time the Game will start. Like 7:09PM. I’ve done this before to be sure my feed is on time. And I’m talking about a paid IPTV service. Maybe disable your score updates on your phone while watching if that’s happening to you

Yeah you might get a quicker feed from the iptv. I dont pay for that. I have cable on one tv. The other is for free streaming only.

I always tell myself to turn it off but like @TXRon says if I’m away from the tv I’ll know what i missed. It just when I’m watching that it spoils it.

Ive noticed with thetvapp that it is a good one minute behind.
